docs Scrollspy Automatically update Bootstrap navigation or list group components based on scroll position to indicate which link is currently active in the viewport. components true

How it works

Scrollspy toggles the .active class on anchor (<a>) elements when the element with the id referenced by the anchor's href is scrolled into view. Scrollspy is best used in conjunction with a Bootstrap [nav component]({{< docsref "/components/navs-tabs" >}}) or [list group]({{< docsref "/components/list-group" >}}), but it will also work with any anchor elements in the current page. Here's how it works.

  • To start, scrollspy requires two things: a navigation, list group, or a simple set of links, plus a scrollable container. The scrollable container can be the <body> or a custom element with a set height and overflow-y: scroll.

  • On the scrollable container, add data-bs-spy="scroll" and data-bs-target="#navId" where navId is the unique id of the associated navigation. Be sure to also include a tabindex="0" to ensure keyboard access.

  • As you scroll the "spied" container, an .active class is added and removed from anchor links within the associated navigation. Links must have resolvable id targets, otherwise they're ignored. For example, a <a href="#home">home</a> must correspond to something in the DOM like <div id="home"></div>

  • Target elements that are not visible will be ignored. See the Non-visible elements section below.

Examples

Navbar

Scroll the area below the navbar and watch the active class change. Open the dropdown menu and watch the dropdown items be highlighted as well.

Navbar

First heading

This is some placeholder content for the scrollspy page. Note that as you scroll down the page, the appropriate navigation link is highlighted. It's repeated throughout the component example. We keep adding some more example copy here to emphasize the scrolling and highlighting.

Second heading

This is some placeholder content for the scrollspy page. Note that as you scroll down the page, the appropriate navigation link is highlighted. It's repeated throughout the component example. We keep adding some more example copy here to emphasize the scrolling and highlighting.

Third heading

Nested nav

Scrollspy also works with nested .navs. If a nested .nav is .active, its parents will also be .active. Scroll the area next to the navbar and watch the active class change.

Non-visible elements

Target elements that arent visible will be ignored and their corresponding nav items won't receive an .active class. Scrollspy instances initialized in a non-visible wrapper will ignore all target elements. Use the refresh method to check for observable elements once the wrapper becomes visible.

document.querySelectorAll('#nav-tab>[data-bs-toggle="tab"]').forEach(el => {
  el.addEventListener('shown.bs.tab', () => {
    const target = el.getAttribute('data-bs-target')
    const scrollElem = document.querySelector(`${target} [data-bs-spy="scroll"]`)
    bootstrap.ScrollSpy.getOrCreateInstance(scrollElem).refresh()
  })
})

Usage

Via data attributes

To easily add scrollspy behavior to your topbar navigation, add data-bs-spy="scroll" to the element you want to spy on (most typically this would be the <body>). Then add the data-bs-target attribute with the id or class name of the parent element of any Bootstrap .nav component.

<body data-bs-spy="scroll" data-bs-target="#navbar-example">
  ...
  <div id="navbar-example">
    <ul class="nav nav-tabs" role="tablist">
      ...
    </ul>
  </div>
  ...
</body>

Via JavaScript

const scrollSpy = new bootstrap.ScrollSpy(document.body, {
  target: '#navbar-example'
})

Options

{{< markdown >}} {{< partial "js-data-attributes.md" >}} {{< /markdown >}}

{{< bs-table "table" >}}

Name Type Default Description
rootMargin string 0px 0px -25% Intersection Observer rootMargin valid units, when calculating scroll position.
smoothScroll boolean false Enables smooth scrolling when a user clicks on a link that refers to ScrollSpy observables.
target string, DOM element null Specifies element to apply Scrollspy plugin.
threshold array [0.1, 0.5, 1] IntersectionObserver threshold valid input, when calculating scroll position.

{{< /bs-table >}}

{{< callout warning >}} Deprecated Options

Up until v5.1.3 we were using offset & method options, which are now deprecated and replaced by rootMargin. To keep backwards compatibility, we will continue to parse a given offset to rootMargin, but this feature will be removed in v6. {{< /callout >}}

Methods

{{< bs-table "table" >}}

Method Description
dispose Destroys an element's scrollspy. (Removes stored data on the DOM element)
getInstance Static method to get the scrollspy instance associated with a DOM element.
getOrCreateInstance Static method to get the scrollspy instance associated with a DOM element, or to create a new one in case it wasn't initialized.
refresh When adding or removing elements in the DOM, you'll need to call the refresh method.
{{< /bs-table >}}

Here's an example using the refresh method:

const dataSpyList = document.querySelectorAll('[data-bs-spy="scroll"]')
dataSpyList.forEach(dataSpyEl => {
  bootstrap.ScrollSpy.getInstance(dataSpyEl).refresh()
})

Events

{{< bs-table "table" >}}

Event Description
activate.bs.scrollspy This event fires on the scroll element whenever an anchor is activated by the scrollspy.
{{< /bs-table >}}
const firstScrollSpyEl = document.querySelector('[data-bs-spy="scroll"]')
firstScrollSpyEl.addEventListener('activate.bs.scrollspy', () => {
  // do something...
})
